Section 4 There is always a miracle waiting for me in Kanas

Draw Kanas one step at a time

I set off at half past six again, and I got up early and rushed to the dark every day, but fortunately the sunset was late at XJ. Once again in the car, we saw the sun leaping up from the mountains. For me, who has been sleeping late and waking up late, sunsets are common upstairs in my house, and sunrises are rare. Now it's watching the sunrise every day, and it's really an unexpected reward.

Today's road to Kanas is not easy to walk, most of the time is to go around the mountain, called Eighteen Pan, around the top of the mountain. After getting in the car in the morning, I found that I was driving towards the mountain, so I quickly sat in the passenger seat below and circled myself together.

After climbing the mountain, the way passes through the town of Hemu in Jadenwang, a Kazakh village of wooden houses in the birch forest. On the roadside and in the woods, herds of cows gnaw grass, and the occasional early riser wears national costumes. The whole village is bathed in the morning light, the artistic conception is very beautiful, it is a real fairy tale world. It's a pity that we are watching the scenery by car, and we are very envious of other tourist buses getting off here.

Just after nine o'clock, we arrived outside the gate of Kanas Scenic Area. Seeing the crowds of people in the square, all of them were tourists like us, and the feelings were all getting up early in the morning. After entering the gate of the scenic spot, looking around, I feel that it is very similar to the topography of our Qinling Mountains, as if walking to a certain mountain in the Qinling Mountains, the intuition is very general, but there are many people. It's like our Taibai Mountain Scenic Area, but not as big and grand as ours.

When I got on the ferry, I entered the mountain, and after a while, I found that the mountain was the same as our Qinling, but the foot of the mountain was completely different. A wide river flows through it, and this is Lake Kanas (in this section it should be called a river accurately). On both sides of the shore there are old elm forests with diameters thicker than meters, and when you see these trees, you will know that there have been people here since ancient times, and they still exist today. Continuing on, I saw on the other side of the lake, in the distance, on the flat grassland between the mountains, there were a number of wooden houses, villages, herds of cattle and sheep, and melodious songs. On the way to the car, it is also common to encounter flower cows grazing on the side of the road. It is a prosperous scene where man and nature coexist in harmony and live and work in peace and contentment. The picture scroll is as wonderful, so I immediately fell in love with the beautiful mountains and rivers, I feel that this is not only a fairyland on earth, but also a real fairy tale world in the world, I yearn for such a fairy tale life that keeps pace with the times.

As the car continued to move forward, the water of Kanas Lake was changing, from the clarity and transparency seen when I first came in, to the faint coloring that I now had. It was not the reflection of the mountains or the sky, but the true color of the lake, a faint blue. The tour guide said that it was the dissolution of mountain minerals into the water.

The car continued to go up along Kanas Lake, where it was guarded by a dense and tall birch forest. The big eyes on the birch trees looked affectionately at the river that flowed happily. When I listened to the tour guide's big eyes, lover's tears would flow every year, and I thought that in the colorful river, there should be their affectionate tears, and they would happily go to their lover with the river. At this time, I hope that the Kanas River will freeze later, and the next year will freeze earlier, so that the infatuated woman and her lover can meet quickly.

Forty-five minutes later, we got off at the center of Kanas Scenic Area. I saw the activity place of a large modern building in the middle of the mountainside. Here visitors can take a boat ride in the lake or continue to take a shuttle bus up the mountain.

Previously, due to seasickness and leg pain with Lan Bao, I gave up the middle of the lake and continued to go up to the top of the mountain to view the lake. But when I stood by the lake and looked at the top of the mountain, my heart fluttered. I climb the mountain all year round, and the attraction of the mountain is too great for me, so I must go up, not to see the lake, but to reach the top of the mountain. So, I said to my two companions, "I'm here to play, I must go up to the top of the mountain, you two play by the lake." "My tone is firm and cannot be questioned. Oh, I really didn't expect that my two companions would say in unison, "Then let's go together." "Their attitude really made my heart revelry. These two partners, who are usually "a little bit of a hind leg", can really go up when they are critical, they are all strong generals, good job!

After deciding to go up the mountain, my heart was steady. According to the tour guide's arrangement, we first went to the Tuvan house in the scenic area, ate and watched the song and dance performances, and then watched the lake or go up the mountain. We didn't choose this self-paid project, but then the tour guide said that we would send all the group members for free, so we went. However, unexpectedly, after we came out of the Tuvan house, we felt that it was too worthwhile, and chased the tour guide to give the price of 80 yuan. Money, is a tribute to folk artists, their performances are so wonderful!

Tuvan's shocking performances

The Tuvan people are a primitive tribe preserved in the scenic area, and they are all wooden houses with steeples made of wood. After eating in a wooden house, everyone went to the back row of wooden houses to watch the show. In the car, the director said that we will see a guy who has been on the "Avenue of Stars" performing, and another is a flute played by the inheritor of intangible culture. At that time, we didn't sign up for the show, so we didn't pay attention to what he said, thinking that it must be a performance for tourists like other scenic spots.

We waited for the tourists who went in front of us to come out before we went in. The furnishings inside are just like the XJ houses we see on TV, everyone is sitting around on small oranges, and raisins and other dried fruits are placed on the low table. When everyone drank milk tea, the young women of the family talked about the customs and folklore of their own people, and they said that they were descendants of MGZ.

Then, a tall clay tile man was invited to play the flute. The flute is made from a local herbaceous plant, not the bamboo flute we are commonly used in.

The sound of the flute sounded, ethereal and melodious, hit the heart, and immediately brought tears to my eyes and that of my companions. The beauty of the flute is so wonderful that I can't describe it in words, I just know how I felt at the time, the whole person was empty all of a sudden, and my soul wandered lightly with the sound of the flute. At the end of the song, I couldn't extricate myself from that ethereal state for a long time. Then, the first reaction is that we have gone too far, too long, and this is a cleansing of our souls.

Immediately afterwards, the artist and two other Dawei people sang folk songs, and the cheerful singing caused the whole room to burst into thunderous applause.

The last program is the performance of the guy who has been on the "Avenue of Stars" as told us by the tour guide. In the previous program, in his solo with the flute player, we can already feel that he sings very well, high-pitched and rich, and the voice is moving. The last program is the dance "Hong Yan", when the program reported that it was "Hong Yan", Ah Hua and I were very excited, we both liked this song, and I used it as my QQ background music for a while. Therefore, I would prefer that this performer sing it out, so that for the first time in the tribe of MGZ, I heard the descendants of MGZ sing Mongolian songs.

However, when the music of "Hong Yan" sounded and the performers posed as Hong Yan, the people in the room fell silent. In the melodious singing voice of Hu Cilen and the vigorous and powerful performance of the performers, Ah Hua and I burst into tears, which is the most perfect interpretation of "Hong Yan" that I have seen today!

Accompanied by singing, the actor began to focus on the dance, his dancing and singing, perfectly unified the song, sublimated the artistic conception of the song, and transformed "Hong Yan" from the imaginary artistic conception to the specific presentation: the Hong Yan flying south, drinking dry and then pouring full, looking up at the relatives who trekked far away in the sky......

If the ethereal flute is a baptism of the soul. Then, the song "Hong Yan" pulls us back to reality, and this reality is so shocking!

The men's exquisite and brilliant dance also won the applause and applause of the flute players, which is an affirmation and appreciation of the highest level of art!

The end of the song is still there, but the end is too fast. Outside, there is another group of tourists waiting to enter. I walked quickly to the two performers in front of me and gave me my heartfelt salute: You are real artists, and the show is wonderful!

I'm going to keep this moment. Because there has never been a time like today, which is so shocking and heart-wrenching! From the beginning of the music to the end of the song, I was so excited that I couldn't stop crying!

When I walked out of the room, I said to Ah Hua, "This can't be a free viewing, the show is too exciting." We made up the 80 yuan fee for watching the performance today, which is a sign of respect and affirmation for the performers. The two companions said in unison: Yes, it's wonderful!

In this sense, we are the same kind. It is also because of this that we can come together and walk from south to north.

After watching the Tuvan show, the guide took us towards the lake. On the way, we pass through a primeval forest of ancient trees, a mossy fir forest that completely separates the modern buildings behind it. Walk to the Kanas Lake and see the clean water rippling in the blue water. Tourists are boating in the lake, and the shore is full of tourists, which is not like a mountain lake at all. Looking at the lake from the shore, I feel that the lake is not as green as when I look at it from afar, but it is the same as in the painting.

Because we are going to the visitor center to take the shuttle bus up the mountain, go to the fish viewing platform at the top of the mountain to see if there are any lake monsters in the lake, and plan to walk the two-kilometer plank road back to Moon Bay, walking past the lake in the mountains. Therefore, it is necessary to hurry up the time.

We hurried towards the center, and when we passed a small meadow, we couldn't move.

One side of the meadow is close to the forest, in front of which is a shallow lake, the aquatic plants in the lake are fertile, the duckweed flowers are pretty, the blue sky and white clouds of a lake make many people in the lake do not know whether it is a duck or a mandarin duck to swim freely and happily, play and play, and envy people. Not far behind, we took out the so-called silk scarves we bought online for this trip and showed them off on the meadow under the blue sky and white clouds. Copy the beautiful looks of friends you saw in the circle of friends one by one, and play to your heart's content.

The forest meadows, the white clouds floating on the mountains in the blue sky, and the small calm lake water, all constitute a poetic romance, and I don't want to leave. I want to sit quietly for a while, sharing the smell of the sunshine and the grass of the green grass. I also want to see the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the lake, the mountains floating, and the water shaking.

But time was too short, and I was finally a passer-by on this quiet meadow, and hurried away to the shouts of my companions (and this frequent urging made me very unhappy today, and I was always in a state of impatience. )。

On the way up the mountain, I saw a purple-red flower on the side of the road on the mountain, which was very beautiful, and I had never seen it on Qinling Mountain. When she was curious, Ah Hua said in the back: "Duo'er, you see how beautiful the red flowers on the mountain are, what are they called?"

I asked the driver, and the master thought for a while and said, "It's Liulan." After May Day, the mountain is full of blooming willow orchids, which are very beautiful. Now there are only a few scattered results. ”

"Liulan", this is the first time I have heard of this flower name, and it is the first time I have seen flowers. When listening to the driver's master, I imagined the appearance of the willow orchids blooming all over the mountain, and I was excited when I thought about it, this mountain is so beautiful, it is really a mountain and a grass! After getting off the bus in the middle of the mountainside, Ah Hua and I turned back to the roadside in front of a bush of willow orchids and photographed it, and felt that it was too feast for the eyes, and we actually saw the willow orchids that had passed the flowering period.

We started trekking up the hill to the fish viewing platform. The hillside leading to the summit is full of steps. I wanted to have a mountain climbing addiction, abandon the steps and hike, but the slope is very large, the shoes are not strong, so I have to stroll and watch the scenery.

Condescendingly, the Kanas Lake I saw was very different from what I saw at the bottom of the mountain, and the beauty was so beautiful that everyone exclaimed and praised it! I saw a blue in the mountains, and the green in the blue, the colors that could not be accurately defined, I had to call it the blue-green watercolor quietly around the mountains, and the scene presented by that color, such as a colored blue-green glass inlaid in the mountains, felt like a kind of mixed color paint blended.

In short, there is no concept of water at all, no reflection of mountains in the water, and no clouds falling in the lake. This is because the color of minerals in the lake water of Kanas is so strong that the coloration of blue and green becomes the dominant color. The lake in the mountains is like oil paint, which is incomparably beautiful and shocks us who are immersed in the scene. Marvel at the wonder of nature, which makes the world have such a colorful and magnificent lake.

Looking at it, I'm lucky.

Continue upward, on the observation deck, you can see the snow-capped top of the highest point of Kanas Lake, and the clouds and mist in the sun, like a dream, and the lake and mountains of Kanas, reflecting each other, beautiful!

All this echoes with the wooden houses and cows under the hillside, which makes me reluctant to give up, and I like the fairy tale world of Kanas very much.

When we descended the mountain and returned to the Moon Bay Boardwalk, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Since I didn't see any other group members in the same car along the way, I was worried that we were the last three people. As a result, the stroll along the lake, which was conceived in the morning, is now a great stride. In the hurry, I also enjoyed the different Kanas landscapes and the beautiful scenery of Kanas step by step.

When I walked here, I saw that the lake had changed color, the bright blue-green color was lightened, and the water was shallow, and it became another picture in the mountains, sometimes like the moon, so there was Moon Bay, and sometimes it was the fairy beach. Underneath the tree-lined walkway are aquatic plants in full bloom. The silky green grass densely paved the lakeside into a fragrant grassland, making the already beautiful river even more beautiful.

At this time of more than six o'clock, the red sun is still high in XJ, just like more than four o'clock in the mainland. We walked not far from the last boarding point, according to the tour guide's request to get on the bus at half past eight, there is still room for us. So, we slowed down and went to play by the water in a shallow shoal for a while.

After getting off the plank road and walking to the stones in the water, I saw that the water here was very clear, and there was a faint blue-green color up close. When I looked upstream along the wide flowing water, I saw that at the end of the two mountains in the north, there was actually the mountain that we had just climbed to the fish viewing platform, as if it was the source of Kanas Lake, and I felt very sure when I saw it. I looked downstream along the river and found that in the distance in front of me, the yellow-green mountains and forests were reflected in the lake in the shallow autumn, as clear as in the mirror. What's even more amazing is that the sun's rays just shine on a tree that has been completely dyed in autumn, and the tree with bright yellow leaves just stretches out to the lake on the shore, and in front of the dark green and light red reflected in the mountain forest, it is like a yellow flower blooming in the lake, and it is a huge one in the mirror. At this moment, the light and shadow are intertwined, the lake and the mountains are beautiful, and the Kanas Lake in front of you is the most perfect!

It is so beautiful that we hold our breath, revel in it, and look greedily at the colorful lake in our hearts, and our hearts are indescribably beautiful. I felt that I was really blessed to arrive at this position when the sun's rays jumped over the mountain and sprinkled the light into the lake, and I saw the most beautiful Kanas Lake sooner or later.

When I raised my phone to take a photo, I saw a colorful light (the light is refracted by the lens)! The colors are so strong, and the spectrum is so clear. I hurriedly took a photo of my two companions in colorful light. I anxiously urged them to hurry up and take pictures of me, and then I walked into the colorful light, and once again I was dressed in the colorful glow! When I opened my arms to meet the colorful light, my heart was excited and happy. At this moment, I really feel lucky. This is the fourth time I've been wearing the colorful light, the first three being at Baxiantai in the Qinling Mountains. Between the mountains and rivers, I am the luckiest when the colorful light shines.

This is the right time, in the right place, and everything you encounter, you are the luckiest!

So, I saw the most beautiful Kanas Lake, shared the wonderful and most beautiful moments, and had the most beautiful enjoyment!
